I also got into programming like this. I even remember working with whitefang, the creator of whitescape, to try and build a 377 server when everyone was on 317. I don't remember if that attempt ever got anywhere though.
I think what you're describing with all the code bases is why I lost interest. It felt like everyone was just doing their own thing without any collaboration. Unlike say World of Warcraft servers where everyone used MaNGOS. I hope it's better now
- veave 3y agoI'm into the wow emu world and it really isn't. There are several forks of mangos and people still don't share their changes.
- ThatPlayer 3y agoI meant about 15 years ago when I believe it was mangos and scriptdev2. Compared to runescape servers which I don't think any server software even had a CVS/SVN repo. It was just zip downloads on rapidshare on a downloads sub-forum with zero expectation of there ever being an update. In fact it looks like those forums are still up, and still has all the old posts. I found an aggregate list from 2008 with 300+ (dead) links to various releases. And this was before multiple clients versions were even a thing. There were only 317 servers, which still seem to be very popular today.
- mikedelago 3y agoI'm also in wow emu world and I agree. Maintainers seem to be quite picky with accepting changes. there's also so many weird quirks to the projects, it's basically what keeps me coming back.
